What I always knew about my parents was that they were in love, and this love had a fizz. It was exciting to be their child, to be around them. There was a dynamism between them, a charge.
We felt like we haven't peaked all year, and there is no better time to reach our full potential.
The person I love most is the Dalai Lama. China destroyed his country, yet he says that it's imperative we show love for the Chinese.
We are looking to get into the No. 1 spot because that would mean we won the game.
We usually get a lot things going with our fast break. We weren't able to do that tonight.
